Do you have a child that will not eat anything you put infront of them? Whether it is child issues (biting, hitting, screaming) or Parent issues (payments, forgetting supplies, on time pickups). Feel free to vent here and we can all help each other out. Please don't use the children's or Parents names for thier privacy (and ours).
For example: I had a young lad that was potty trained, except that he would wet himself when he was angry. It didn't matter if I had scolded him for something or if it was one of the other kids that upset him by telling him that they didn't want to play what he did. He would wet his pants. Than after it was discovered he would say very proudly "I did it on purpose". I have almost solved the situation with several discussions with him on proper ways to express our anger. He would also be banned from wearing undies (he would be put back in pullups or diapers) for the remainder of the week. He has not peed on anything on purpose for a few months now.
Please share your Issues that you need help with, or share issues that you delt with and how you delt with them.

I do have a kiddo that will not eat anything of any nutritional value, he is 3 1/2 so I am sure that it will pass. One day while enjoying a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup, he asked me "Are their real tomatoes in here or pretend ones like at home?" How do you answer that one, I didn't want to lie to him but I didn't want him to stop eating the one veggie like thing I could get him to eat (or wreck it for his mom). So I simply told him that our soup has real tomatoes and said "It is really good isn't it?" he had to agree since he was on his second bowl at the time.
He is a mental struggle for me though since my ds and dd are all veggie, we usually have the battle over getting them to eat some protien. We always know when my dd is going to grow because she will crave protien and ask for meat between meals (or she will just come out of the frige with a hunk of meat left over from the night before).
